This Life - Mandalay

..to stay, oh no

You had to go

Spoil it all

I know you had to go

Now I find these endlessly

Colourblind days

To fill

You never will

(Take this life)

Take this life

Take it all

In your hands

You were mine

I could smile

(spoken:You understand, fine)

Again

I dream;

You come to me

(Come back to me)

And comfort me

Now I dream

Where did this time go?

Where did this time go?

Did your love go?

I know

You had to go

Spoil it all

And now I know

You never will

(Take this life)

Take this life

Take it all

In your hands

You were mine

I could smile

(spoken:You understand, fine)

(Take this life)

Take this life

Take it all

In your hands

You were mine

I could smile

(spoken:You understand, fine)

Again

Just what you said was cold advice

I discovered sticks go with knives

I discovered I could’ve died in your chains

Still I feel, so won’t you stay

Oh, babe

(Take this life)

Take this life

Take it all

In your hands

You were mine

I could smile

(spoken:You understand, fine)

(Take this life)

Take this life

Take it all

In your hands

You were mine

I could smile

Again
